RE: sheet metal unfold
I know that a number of vendors have software that will do this- I worked for Amada, and they have lots of sheet metal-related software, for programmming, nesting, unfolding, and so forth.
No, it isn't cheap.
No, I haven't used much of it.
Aside from what they (Amada) can show/tell you, I do know some fellow Amada alumni who might be willing to discuss...

I am a Solidworks user. I create formed and flat sheet metal parts for our Amada stamping turret. The software
calculates stretch of material when suppressing the bends.
Our parts are pretty accurate in fabrication. Check it out.
Solidworks works great, but it isn't cheap.

Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. And scratch where it itches.
